Twin vehicle bomb in Benghazi kills over 30, wounds 50 people

At least 22 people were killed and 33 injured after a double vehicle bombing rocked Libya's Benghazi on Tuesday.

The first auto bomb exploded in front of a mosque, as worshipers exited the mosque after the night prayer, Xinhua cited the Libyan news agency as saying.

The second, larger blast went off around 10 to 15 minutes across the street later as security and other emergency officials were on the scene.

The second blast also hit an ambulance and caused a higher number of casualties than the first. "There are other cases that have been transferred to other hospitals and clinics in the city", Fadia Al-Barghathi, an official from the Information Office of Al-Jalaa Hospital in Benghazi, told Xinhua.

One of the men killed was Ahmed al-Feitouri of the investigation and arrest unit attached to the general command of east Libyan security forces. Intelligence official Mahdi al-Fellah, sustained injuries.

It was not immediately clear who was responsible.

Benghazi was at the center of three years of fierce fighting between extremists and forces loyal to military strongman Khalifa Haftar.

Islamic State fighters had established footholds amid the disorder but have been mostly driven out of the main cities.
